The Prologue
As I write today, please know that I am profoundly impacted by the A’s departure from the Oakland Coliseum and from Oakland for the foreseeable future. The Coliseum was essentially my “second home” as a young man, peaking with a season in which I attended 60 home games in the left field bleachers (back when they were even actually bleachers) followed by 48 the next season.
The A’s move in 2025 from Oakland to Sacramento will have a direct impact on those living in the east bay, and I am one of those fans whose team will suddenly not be just a short drive away.
